I think its needed. I met a guy at vfs who had his undergraduate studies there and is now going for his postgraduate. He was asked to get the police clearance from SA.

Good morning, pls does anyone knw about applying for sa visa in Ghana?

GOOD NEWS. BUT NEXT TIME NEVER APPROACH THE POLICE. YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED OTHER PEOPLE YOU FLEW IN WITH. OR BETTER STILL WAIT TILL YOU SEE ANY AIRLINE COUNTER. [b][/b]

Hello guys! I just walked through immigration in Jo'burg. Thanks to everyone who assisted with information from application to when visa was eventually granted. For the records, I flew Kenya Airways. Had no issues whatsoever because of the airline I flew with . The only scare was when the stern immigration officer asked for my accommodation reservations and i presented a screen-munched receipt of my Airbnb payment in Cape Town.

Dude wasn't satisfied. He said I should have a printout but I told him I didn't have time to print out one, next thing I heard was step aside on the red line. I told him no. Then proceeded to my mail and show him the actual receipt in my mail box. He relaxed, stamped my port and welcomed me to SA. Unfortunately, another Nigerian guy before me was marched to another office. I don't know why but the immigration officer was saying something about his story not adding up. I hope they don't send him back home.

Another thing I experienced was with police almost immediately after immigration. I approached them to ask where I can buy a ticket to Cape Town. They requested my port which I showed them. Next, they were asking for my hotel reservation. Again, i showed them my Airbnb receipt. Again, they said no, that I should have a printout. I asked them if they would like to call the landlord and . They said no, they are taking me to an office from where I'd likely be deported. We argued back and forth for almost 10 minutes. Eventually, they asked for $40 for coffee before they'd allow me go. I said all i can give is $10.

I thought I gave the corrupt cop $10 only to get to the ticket booth and discovered I actually gave him a $100 bill. Guys, I was mad. Went back to look for the officer, accompanied by a female airport staff that I narrated the incident to. Luckily, I found him, dude was like any problem, i told him i gave him $100 instead of $10. He feigned ignorance and quietly took me to a corner where he produce my money . Man, i was just glad!

Awaiting my flight to Cape Town, I hope I enjoy my stay!

FALSE and FAKE NEWS

Some of our brothers fought with some of their officials during that time and they close doors for any visa related issues. our people are too aggressive! for no reason abusing opportunities no matter what the case... I have called and called consular now he wont pick up, i did call last week again someone else picked and said you can't speak with consular he's busy! sir dont worry too much. we can help you once its 90 days,then you have right to complain the 6 to 8 weeks should be counted as working business days not...

I applied on the 3rd of January 2019 and till now it’s still under assessments �‍♀️Should I be worried pls

[quote author=Imisi43 post=75806934] I applied on the 3rd of January 2019 and till now it’s still under assessments �‍♀️Should I be worried pls[Every one is worried, the delay is too much, the silence is too loud, there is nothing we can do, I suggest you be patient or withdraw if you need your port for other things.
Lagos used to be fast, but since last year after the former minister of home affairs resigned, things have been slow across all south africa commissions. ]

Wow guess am not left out in this too

And the money I kept for this trip I have already made use of half hope it does not affect the accessment

I don't get your point please. Did you mean I may proceed with submitting my visa application without the yellow fever card at first?

Diamond1960:
Yes, it is, you should get it once you kick start your visa application processes. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to enter Sa

Juwohn:
I think it's a general issue perhaps from Home Affiars in ZA.
I've seen another thread where Zimbabweans are complaining.
Fortunately for them, they have been able to force their high commissioner to release all ports by Feb ending, with priority for scholarship n grant recipients.

Unfortunately no one is fighting for us �‍♂️
